I don’t know where to start with this other than to point out that there is no way in hell these two clowns had the security clearance necessary to access a prod DB at DHS. I can only assume they stole creds from another employee who had that level of clearance. Also, tax records are not stored in a DHS domain .

I think this story has been sanitized to mask some details which is ok I guess but I ain’t buying the back story.

I think prod db at DHS is an implication in the article while it is more likely that their employer hosted a minor SaaS which required DBs for various government department customers.
